14 of the best home decor DIYs using rope

Keen to get your DIY on? Rope is a beautiful and versatile material, and we’ve rounded up 14 of the best home decor DIYs using rope to inspire you!

1. DIY clay and rope bowl

As Francesca from Fall For DIY says, “You can never have enough pretty pots to fill with pretty things right?”. Right!

So starting this round up of the best home decor DIYs using rope is this oh-so-pretty clay and rope bowl she created. You could get as creative as you like with this tutorial, such as using gold thread instead of blue for a pop of bling, or even hand painting the clay bowl if you’d like to introduce more colour.

2. DIY rope basket using dollar store laundry basket

Jen from iheartorganising says this DIY rope basket tutorial is one of her most popular blog posts EVER!

Although she admits that this DIY ended up costing more than she originally anticipated (because she bought high quality rope rather than using what she had at hand) and taking a bit longer too, she’s thrilled with the results. She says this DIY still cost a fraction of the designer basket she had her eye on and loves how it ties in with the colour scheme of her home.

3. DIY macrame hanging planter

We’re all for bringing greenery into the home and while the red-hot macrame hanging planter trend may have subsided, we still think it’s a beautiful way to add a pop of greenery to an otherwise dull corner of the home.

This simple DIY by chichidee is one of the easiest and most effective tutorials we’ve seen — we love that she kept it minimal so the plants can be the hero.

5. DIY outdoor hanging planter/vertical garden

Another fab rope DIY for displaying plants is this outdoor hanging planter/vertical garden by the ladies at Shanty 2 Chic.

If you’re short on space or renting and do not want to create a herb garden on the ground, or you’re looking for ways to add interest to walls in an outdoor space, this sweet hanging planter tutorial might just do the trick. Best of all, they say it costs less than $30 to make!

7. DIY rope magazine holder

Another DIY by Francesca (who also made the clay and rope bowl above) is this super simple magazine holder. Using just some rope, clay and a clip, she’s come up with a clever way to display your magazines without damaging them.

8. DIY indoor hanging garden

Using a similar concept as the hanging garden above, Ben from homemade-modern.com made a more refined and larger version for indoors.

You need to have a little more confidence on the power tools (or be able to call on the help of someone who is) to create this DIY but it’s another low cost, high impact way of adding a big pop of greenery into your home. We could also imagine this piece working well in a commercial space.

12. Rope box shelf

To be completely honest, this is a product that was for sale rather than a DIY tutorial buuuut we reckon most of you would be able to create your own version by simply looking at the photos (it seems it’s no longer for sale).

By creating a simple timber box with hinged front, and running rope through the top, you could make your own DIY rope box shelf. We love this idea in an entry of a coastal home as somewhere to put your keys and small trinkets.

13. DIY giant macrame pendant lights

You’ve got to love a DIY tutorial that has huge impact but is also easy to make. Mandi from Vintage Revivals assures us that these giant DIY macrame pendant lights couldn’t be easier to make and has created the best tutorial for you to follow along.
